ON-SITE WARRANTY SERVICE

The apparatus manufacture will provide "on-site" warranty repair at the fire station during the first twelve (12) months of the warranty period. If the repairs cannot physically be done at the station due to the nature of the repair, the local service center for the manufacture will pick up the apparatus for the repair and return it to the fire department after repairs are completed.

TRADE-IN APPARATUS

In addition to quote for a straight cash purchase, you will quote a trade-in allowance for a 1993 Freightliner/KME pumper with 1,250- gpm pump and 1,000-gallon water tank.

A detailed package with information on the specifications and equipment to be delivered, the conditions thereof, and bid forms, is available at www.moultonboroughnh.gov (click on Paid, Volunteer and Contract Openings) or Town Administration offices during normal business hours.
